The World According to Bella and an Herbed Shrimp Antipasto Appetizer

Wrapping Up ChristmasMy stocking was quite full on Christmas day. Santa must have gotten my letter and knew right where to find me. Food gifts are always a hit. Now Mrs. S can now start baking for me with this package of dog biscuit dough, chicken flavor.

I did get a Chuckit-the deluxe model called the Ultra Grip Ball Launcher Model. I can't wait to try it out at the dog park this week. It will be lots of fun.

I still wished I had gotten the camouflage back pack Sadie has-maybe next year. This is what I dreamed I'd look like wearing it.

It's Day 5 and I'm doing pretty good on that very large rawhide bone I got before Christmas. Only one end is left but my jaws are getting pretty sore.

Love, BellaPS. Mrs. S and I really had fun on Christmas Eve keeping track of Santa's journey around the world with NORAD (The North American Aerospace Defense Command). We also checked the live tweets during the evening so we would know when he was getting close to our house. I hope you had a fun Christmas. I'm really looking forward to another road trip in the new year.

Cook's notes: Serve an appetizer with a Mediterranean flair by marinating shrimp, olives, provolone, cheese, mushrooms in an herbed vinaigrette. The recipe is easy and comes from McCormick.com
